It is well-known that the development of a country, the improvement of man’s material and moral well-being, in one word his freedom and happiness depends on work. This problem is more urgent for the Romania, because of the fact that the adherence to EU structures supposes to create an efficient framework of approach the problems of the labour market, according to the predictable evolutions of the national and European economic area. In present, a very important issue is the employment problem in manufacture industry, especially in textile and clothing industry.

The paper is structured as it follow: In the first part, we are going to analyze the changes that have appeared in Romania’s employed population structure throughout the country’s transition period towards the market economy. The second part covers the matter of employment in textile and clothing industry, analyzing the main causes that have lead to the decrease of the employment in that sector. In the same time, we are going to analyze the structure of employment both in textile and clothing sector by size of enterprises and time periods. At the end of the paper, we are going to analyze the perspectives of the employment in these sectors in the context of the European Integration.
